FEED CHICKS OFTEN—BUT DON’T STUFF THEM.

Yourig chickens should be fed ' from three to five times daily, < depending upon one’s experience J in feeding. Undoubtedly chick- < ens can be grown faster by feed.- ; ing five times daily than by feed- < ing three times but it ! should be borne in mind that ■ more harm can be done to the young chickens by overfeeding ; than by underfeeding, and at no i time should they be fed more ■ than barely to satisfy their ap- < petites and lo keep them exer- ; cising, except at the evening ■ or last meal, when they should ! be given all they will eat. Young. ; chicks that are" confined need ! more attention to avoid over- ■ feeding than those that have free range, as leg weakness is ■; likely to result in those confined. i
